Yes. Just add the_excerpt(); where you want it to display excerpt.

HI!
Thanks for this information! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Is there a way to add an excerpt to this, along with the photo?

Thanks again for your help!

It is not using the first tag. This code is using all tags from the posts to find related posts.

Thanks for sharing. I’m using this code for a while now but it has a problem: when adding tags to a post, WP sorts them alphabetically regardless of the priority I added them. So this code displays related posts matching the first tag only which are less relevant sometimes.
Maybe you have an idea how to prevent this auto sorting of tags by WordPress or any other solution?

Doug please contact us using the form with a live link example, and we can help. We know this code is working because a few of our client’s site is using it.

All that first code did was put two instances of the same post on the page. It didn’t show any related anything.
